Disney's Aladdin, a new stage adaptation of the 1992 Academy Award-winning animated film musical, will open on Broadway March 20, 2014, at the New Amsterdam Theatre. Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon) directs.

The stage production, which expands the 90-minute film into a two-act format, has music by Alan Menken, lyrics from the film by the late Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, as well as new book and lyrics by Chad Beguelin (The Wedding Singer, Elf).

An earlier pilot version of Aladdin premiered at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre in the summer of 2011. Nicholaw, who directed and choreographed that staging, will return for the upcoming production.
According to Disney, the Broadway staging will be an entirely new production, "featuring a new script, tunestack and a wholly original design scaled to the Broadway stage and an epic story."
